npm ci
npm run tauri:dev
npm run checknpm run tauri:dev prepares maintenance-helper.exe in Tauri resources and then starts tauri dev. npm run check runs typecheck, lint, and tests.
Treat .\scripts\build-release.ps1 as a local smoke test only. Real release installers are built and signed by GitHub Actions after a v* tag is pushed.
